prose
Use when asked to write, rewrite, tighten, shorten, or review general prose for a human reader — a chat reply, explanation, summary, announcement, email, newsletter, or blog post — or to make text sound less AI-generated, robotic, or stilted, or to cut filler and slop from text. This is the base style for all prose; skills for specific artifact classes override it for their artifacts. Do not use when the target is a technical artifact or a technical comment or reply in an issue or review thread, even if the user asks to rewrite, tighten, or improve its prose. Technical-writing owns that composition after the substance and disposition are settled; verifying, triaging, or deciding how to handle existing feedback belongs to the feedback-handling workflow. Also do not use for files that instruct agents (agent-instructions); for commit messages; for program code; or for conceptual questions about writing style.
